pTRACK SELECTION

Gives the MPEG AUDIO and the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format priority when you play a DVD on which multiple audio formats are recorded. If multiple audio channels are recorded in MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital (AC-3) format, the higher- numbered channel audio recorded in MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital (AC-3) format is played.

•OFF: No priority given.

•AUTO: Priority given.

Notes

•When you set this item to “ON”, the language may change depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP.” The “TRACK SELECTION” setting has higher priority than that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 34).

•If the number of the highest channels of the MPEG AUDIO sound tracks is the same as the one of the DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) sound tracks, the priority is given to the MPEG AUDIO sound tracks.

•Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital (AC-3) format by selecting “AUTO.”

pSURROUND

Switches the mixing down methods when you play a DVD on which the sound in Dolby Digital (AC-3) format is recorded.

•ON: when the player is connected to an audio component that conforms to Dolby surround, Dolby Pro Logic surround, etc.

•OFF : when the player is connected to a normal audio component.

pDIGITAL OUT

Switches the methods of outputting audio signals from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors on the rear panel of the player.

•PCM: when the player is connected to an audio component without a built-in MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder.

If you play the MPEG AUDIO or the Dolby Digital (AC-3) sound tracks, the output signal is stereo. You can select the surround effect by setting the item “SURROUND” to “ON” or “OFF.”

•MPEG: when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in MPEG AUDIO decoder.

If you play the Dolby Digital (AC-3) sound tracks, the output signal is stereo.

•DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder. If you play the MPEG sound tracks, the output signal is stereo.

•DOLBY DIGITAL/MPEG: when the player is connected to audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3)/ MPEG AUDIO decoder.

The player outputs the appropriate signals automatically, when you play a DVD.

Note

Select the setting correctly. Otherwise, no sound or strange sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

pAUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

Makes the sound clear with the volume turned down at night, etc. when you play a DVD. This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors when “DIGITAL OUT” in ”INITIAL SETUP 2” is set to “PCM,” the output from the LINE OUT (AUDIO) and EURO AV (1, 2) connectors.

•OFF: Normally select this position.

•ON: makes the sound clear even if you turned the volume down.

Note

When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there may be no effect on the sound.

pAUDIO ATT (attenuation)

Selects the setting of the output from the LINE OUT (AUDIO) and EURO AV (1, 2) connectors according to audio equipment to be connected.

•OFF: turns off the audio attenuation.

•ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound distortion occurs.

Note

The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors.

pAUDIO FILTER (DVP-S715 only)

Selects the type of digital filter to reduce the noise higher frequency than 22.05kHz (fs 44.1kHz), 24kHz (fs 48kHz) or 48kHz (fs 96kHz).

•SHARP: makes the sound clear and provides smooth sound reproduction. Normally set this position.

•SLOW: makes the sound warm and deep.
